It's time once again to bring in the lilacs! This has to be my very favorite spring-time ritual. We are blessed to have two old lilac trees at our new home. The one with lighter purple flowers is just about finished, but the new bouquet I brought in today has the most regal deep violet color and double blooms. Heavenly!
Sewing Update:
Spring Into Art was a great show this year. I sold several pieces of stitchery to new customers, and met some really talented artists, including Debbie Kilmer, a new fiber artist who makes the most beautiful fiber beads, handbags and other accessories using really fascinating techniques.
Here is a pic of one of my new "pinked" posey pins:
The basic idea comes from a Heather Bailey blog post, but I have tweaked mine quite a bit to make it more appropriate for spring. These are so cute pinned to a cardigan or a bag for a pop of color and pattern. I can't wait to make more. Before I do, there is a diaper bag to make for my sweet, adorable new niece, Evie, and her Mommy; a custom zipper pouch, and a top secret project making its debut in Nashville soon!
